It seems like lately I've seen a lot of people leaving because they don't like the responses they get when they ask for advice. It's not just here at CF, but at other boards I frequent as well. I wonder why people post at all if they only want to hear themselves validated or they can't handle...

Maybe it's my own fault for being so non-traditional, but at the pre-vasectomy appointment my husband and I went to yesterday to meet the doctor, the doctor was really, really nice until he found out we don't have children. Then it was all, "You should wait for at least 3-4 years. You might...

I think my husband is actually going to make his doctor's appointment for the vasectomy tomorrow. He's been putting it off due to nerves (and I can't blame him for that), but he sounds pretty determined right now. So... prayers that he would stay determined and make that appointment would be...

I started rambling on another thread where this didn't belong, so I thought I'd take what I didn't post there here and ask how your conversations with your non-Christian spouses go. Here's what I had almost posted elsewhere: My husband and I, thus far, are doing great. He supports and...

For those of you pursuing permanent forms of birth control, I'm just wondering -- what route would you rather take (or did you take)? I'm not a candidate for the copper IUD because it's not recommended for those with anemia (thppt), nor does my body respond well to hormonal forms of birth...

Okay... odd question. We're having some friends and their kids over for dinner. I'm pretty excited because I love them and their kids and they haven't been over here yet, but I have one concern... We have nice carpet. They have one high-chair aged kid who will likely be flinging blended...

The UY forum seems to have nothing uplifting in it. I recognize it's a support forum, but I think part of support is helping people to not forget to appreciate the good things that we have. So tell me something happy about your spouse -- why you fell in love, what he or she DOES support you...

A post in one of the threads on the Singles board made me rather irate but as I am no longer single, I couldn't respond. That's probably for the best anyway, as the response may have gotten me banned. :o So instead of ranting I just thought I'd get a feel for how many intercultural couples we...

I'll be speaking with the counselers and school psychiatrist when I return on Tuesday, but I thought I'd get as much advice as I could before going back. A student with asperger's was just put in one of my classrooms, and I've had no experience with that before. He's a nice kid and everything...

I work days and my future husband works nights. We'll get, on average, maybe an hour together a day, and that hour will hardly be quality time. My parents had the same schedule early on in their marriage and they say it was the hardest part of their marriage. I have to admit, I'm a bit...

So... for those of you benefitting from premarital counseling, maybe you could share some of the topics you have covered thus far. I'm guessing I'm not the only one on here not going through counseling, and I must admit I'm curious. My boyfriend and I do discuss everything, but if there's an...

I'm just wondering how you have all gone about it. Are you planning to get a place right before getting married? Right after? Or is one or both of you already occupying the place you will live afte you marry? We were just looking around for fun and found the perfect apartment, so we got...

I'm wondering what Christians' perspectives on this would be. The article is here: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-ed-wiccan15jul15,0,4597914.story?coll=la-opinion-leftrail and essentially tells about a widow who requested her husband's grave be adorned with a pentagram to celebrate his...

In a lot of threads I've seen the idea that avoiding the appearance of sin is as important as avoiding sin itself. This has shown up in threads where a male and a female want to be roommates together and have no sexual attraction whatsoever; where women or men in relationships no longer hang...

So please, ask away. :)

I've always been fond of the idea of reincarnation, personally. I rather like life as I know it, despite its obvious hardships, and I can't help but think that Heaven would be too boring and Hell would be too harsh. So, if you were to throw away any actual beliefs you have and design your own...

สวัสดีคะ :wave: It'd really help if I could have a simple conversation with someone. I've been studying Thai for a little while (I'm not proficient yet), and am now learning to type in Thai, and I was hoping to find a place to practice.

I see a lot about this on the married section of the forums, and at my evening church the women often talk about how their husbands make the final decisions in things. But I honestly cannot think of a single decision involving the both of us that I would want my husband to make alone, nor would...

I saw this sentiment posted in another thread. The poster said that "sexual sins hurst us more than anything else." I can't say I agree, but I am wondering what other people think about this statement. I personally think all sin hurts us. Sexual sin seems to get an unusually bad rep...

I've been reading some of the posts in this forum, and thought I would throw in my experience for discussion. For the past year and a half I've been happily dating a non-Christian. His family is made up of devout Buddhists, and he was a novice monk many, many years ago. Now he has a kind of...
